However, the involvement of women including the PKK group in Ledug village, Kembaran sub-district, Banyumas faces obstacles ranging from a lack of understanding of political participation, village development, low education levels, time constraints, and traditional mindsets. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding, capacity, and political participation of women in the PKK group in Ledug village, Kembaran sub-district, especially in the village development process. The methods used include FGD, direct observation, counseling, and village forum simulations. The results of the activity show that the PKK Ledug group has a high motivation to be involved in village development but still faces obstacles such as limited information regarding village political mechanisms and lack of self-confidence. After the community service was implemented, the PKK Ledug group was able to convey aspirations in a more structured manner. The village forum simulation showed an increase in the activeness of the PKK Ledug group in discussions and submitting program proposals. This community service proves that political awareness can be an effective strategy to increase the contribution of the PKK Ledug group in village development.
